Bastet Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Saw this the other day and wanted to share it. In honor of Myrna Loy's birthday, here she is cross-dressing, a la Dietrich. That's from something that didn't make the final cut in The Thin Man -- there was a scene scripted in which Nora dresses as a man to go investigate something (perhaps to tail after Nick when he goes down to Wynan's shop, I can't recall) and they did a photo shoot in that costume (there's also a cute pic of her and Asta) but the scene isn't in the film and I'm not sure if it was even filmed.

Swithin Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 As fine a quartet as ever appeared on celluloid: Madame Sul-Te-Wan, Leigh Whipper, Marguerite Whitten, and Mantan Moreland in King of the Zombies. Madame was the first black actor ever to sign a film contract with a major studio. Leigh Whipper was the first black actor to join Actors' Equity.

I wondered where it came from. Myrna Loy never really seemed to be the cross-dressing type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie's finger is bandaged after getting it slammed in a gate while filming a scene from The Great Dictator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamradio Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Photo of the construction of Noah's Ark for the movie. Might be the only time Giorgio Tsoukalos won't give an Ancient Alien theory of who built the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Kimble Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 The Fox Theater, San Francisco (1929-1963): Website devoted to the theater: http://www.historigraphics.com/fox/ A short 1960s film about the Fox, showing both its interior and its demolition: Near the end of the film most of the theater has been demolished, only the front is left standing. When that comes down I can't help but be reminded of the destruction of the temple in Samson and Delilah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RolloTredway Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Isn't that Fred MacMurrary? If it is Tyler this should also be posted in the lookalike thread. It's MacMurray's head grafted onto Tyler's body. The original Captain Marvel of the comic books was modeled on Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamradio Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 It's MacMurray's head grafted onto Tyler's body. The original Captain Marvel of the comic books was modeled on Fred. Looks like a character out of the Ambiguously Gay Duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer5 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Candid photo of Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone during filming of The Adventures of Robin Hood. Obviously, whatever scene Errol must have been filming was cut as I don't remember Robin Hood wearing chain mail at all in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
